I know I've heard the opening bars of Beck's "Gamma Ray" in a commercial or promo recently (Telus? The Gap?) but I can't place it and my Google-fu in in the ditch today. Help!

Beck and the Question Marks?

Who does Beck have in his current live band for the Modern Guilt tour? Looks like a few new faces.

Request for music recommendations! I'm looking for more music similar to Beck's Hell Yes EP and bands like Treewave and old school Nintendo music, but not campy "hey, I sampled a video game!" type stuff like Richard D. James's Powerpill Pacman. You know, stuff that's true to the SID chip and isn't kitschy and maybe has some vocals. Whacha got?

The musical group Forest for the Trees (mainly one person, Carl Stephenson, who has worked with Beck) released an album in 1996, partially achieved one-hit wonder status with "Dream," released an EP the following year, then disappeared. What's he up to nowadays?
